The device provides a combined door stop and holder, and comprises a post which 1s set in the ground and which acts as a stop,

and is provided with one or two swinging arms to hold one or two doors as desired, which arms can be swung up or down to engage or disengage the doors.

The device can be cheaply constructed of ordinary pipe stock and fittings.

In the accompanying drawings Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of the device of the double type, that is, having two arms. Fig. 3 is a perspective illustrating the manner of use.

used. The post is set in the ground, or in a cement or wooden base 8, to about the depth of the fitting 7. The arms 9 are pivoted in the fitting 7 conveniently by ring nuts 10, the arms being angular as shown, and the joint being preferably tight enough to hold the arm in upright position, and the arms can be conveniently made of small pipe sections connected by an elbow. The ends of the post and the arms are finished by caps 12.

In use, the post forms a stop for the door, which may be held open by swinging up the arm, the door being held between the post and the arm. Two adjacent doors may be held open, on opposite sides of the post, by the double armed device shown.

I claim:

A door holder and stop comprising a post consisting of upper and lower sections and 1 an angle fitting connecting the same, the upper section projecting into the path of the door to form a stop for the same, and an angular arm having a horizontal part pivotally connected to the fitting.

In testimony whereof, I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
